Day by Day, Little by Little

Have you ever wished the fear you face would disappear and never return? I have. When my husband had a stroke I was so frightened. I literally had a deep physical aching in my chest. I tried to calm down and relax but the ache continued. I was so afraid I was going to have a heart attack. I even got to the point of wondering if we would end up in the same hospital room. I kept trying not to be afraid but it wasn’t working. Until…a friend of mine reminded me that true peace comes from knowing God is in control. I needed to be reminded that God’s got it and I can trust Him even when things are falling apart. So much of the Christian walk is about trusting God. Day by day, little by little, over time the aching in my chest went away. Are you facing a fear you wish would disappear and never return? Like me, you may need to be reminded that God is in control and way bigger than any fear you may be facing. We can lay our fears at the feet of Jesus and say to Him…

When I am afraid, I will trust in you. Psalm 56:3
